Mind, Body, Her

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Rachael Lovink, a naturopathic doctor with a passion for gut health. We dive into what’s really going on with bloating, IBS, SIBO, and food sensitivities — and why so many people feel lost when trying to heal their digestion.

We cover:

• What an IBS diagnosis actually means and why it’s often misunderstood
• The link between stress, trauma, and digestive symptoms
• When elimination diets and food sensitivity testing help — and when they cause harm
• How to support gut healing without extreme restriction
• Where to start if you feel overwhelmed by your symptoms

We’re unpacking the true cost of undernourishment and how undereating—especially for women—can quietly wreak havoc on your hormones, metabolism, and sense of self.

You’ll learn:

• How chronic undereating impacts your thyroid, cortisol, and sex hormones
• Why your metabolism isn't broken—it’s just trying to protect you
• What a feminine approach to nourishment really looks like
• How to let go of food noise so you can finally focus on the things that really matter
• How to rebuild trust with your body and let go of rigid food rules

In this episode, we dive into female-specific fat loss and why traditional weight loss advice often falls short for women. I break down how our hormones, menstrual cycle, and stress response play a major role in metabolism and fat loss — and why it’s not just about calories. You’ll learn key diet and lifestyle strategies that actually work with your body, not against it, so you can ditch the burnout and see real results.
